    This may seem a stupid question as Im waiting for a copy of my assessment report for PIP before i get a decision, surely to relieve the stress and waiting times, cant this copy and the decision but sent via email purely to speed up the procss dramatically and then they can send a written copy so were not all waiting on snail mail??

    No, they don't send anything through email. It's not always a good idea to ask for a copy of the assessment report because it can cause even more stress than you may already be experiencing.

    Hello and welcome to the community @djslapper, it isn't a silly question at all. As mentioned above, it isn't something that is currently possible but should be in my opinion, not least because it would make the information much more accessible for many people.

    I wish you the very best for the outcome, please feel free to have a browse of the community and take part in any other discussions that take your fancy.

    I recorded my first PIP assessment with ATOS and proved nurse fraud so the DWP requested another to be done by ATOS.  I have now phoned the DWP PIP on 3 occasions over 3 weeks to request this new report on myself after receiving my award notice which did NOT match what I had said. The first two times I telephoned to request the new report they said ok we will send it and then nothing was sent, the third time I phone (last week) the lady says it is not in our system, so at that I replied well how have you made a decision from a report you do not have, she put the phone down on me.  I am ready to sue the DWP over this as they are illegally witholding information on myself that I haver a legal right to have a copy of.  Has anyone else suffered with this as this has never happened to me before but I fear it is because the first nurses report was proved to be seriously fraudulent and now they do not want me to see the second one as I know it will be the same.

    Hi can someone explain the PA5 and 6 and how it escalates to whoever deals with that,i did take them to a tribunal when a capita assessor which gave me zero points purely bonus related and i proved it at a tribunal and won standared living and enhanced mobility so this time they review was passed to atos.They are even worsr have lost the contract not winning a single region and investigated by a government select committee for bonus related decisions.Serpo take over in sept ,atos kept pushing me for a video call and refused on health grounds i now had a letter completed my assessment and do not need a consultation as have seriousillnesses they have proof of.None of these private companies are qualified to access you and i challenged them on their qualifactions to know better than specialists treating me.I asked them what medical condition they specialized in and refused to answer so i refused to answer their questions on the grounds they were not qualified and bonus related and had a letter sent to their employees to prove it that stated a parlimentary investigation into atos.So my advice stand your ground it does work.
